PRE – WOD NUTRITION

Probably one of the the most frequent question I receive besides the topic of supplements is “What should I eat before a workout?” My answer often infuriates people, as it comes down to “Well, it depends…”

Why such a gray area? Lots of reasons and variables, such as:

Time of day of training

Previous nutrition intake the night before

Type, duration, and intensity of training (very key)

Individual gastric transit time and tolerance

If we take these into consideration, you can see it could really change things up. If you are still saying “Ok, but WHAT do I eat??”, here are a few guidelines:

As a very broad generalization, there should be a 2-3hr buffer between whole food intake and training

Intensity & duration affect GI tolerance; the more intense, the less your stomach will like food. Similar for duration, at intensity

Glycogen stores are affected by your previous training session, and more importantly, your meals the day BEFORE.

Morning sessions: Fasted. This is fine—be hydrated, but know you are fueled by the night before meal.
